What You'll Learn

Six modules. One foundation.

This is a practical, foundational training — not an advanced practitioner certification. Included with your Gongscape Academy membership.

01
Foundation

Foundations of the Gong

Begin at the beginning. Understand what the gong is, where it comes from, and why it holds such power as a healing and creative instrument. Build the foundation for everything that follows.

02
Science of Sound

Understanding Sound & Vibration

Demystify how sound works. Learn the principles of frequency, resonance, and vibration — and why these properties make the gong such a unique instrument for healing and transformation.

03
The Body

How Sound Affects the Nervous System

Explore the science behind sound healing. Understand how specific frequencies and sustained vibration affect the nervous system, brainwave states, and the body's natural capacity for rest and reset.

04
Setup

Gong Setup & Instrument Basics

Learn how to correctly set up your instrument, care for it, and prepare your space. Covers the practical essentials every player needs before they begin.

05
Technique

Core Playing Techniques

Hands-on video instruction covering striking, rolling, dampening, and dynamic control. Build the muscle memory to play with sensitivity, intention, and confidence.

06
Application

Creating Simple Sound Sessions

Bring everything together. Learn how to structure and lead your own simple sound sessions for personal practice, a small group, or as the foundation of a growing offering.
